The Chinese top diplomat said China supports efforts to prevent the further deterioration of the refugee crisis in the Middle East.
Wang was speaking at a briefing following a meeting with his Lebanese counterpart Gebran Bassil in Beirut as part of a one-day visit to Lebanon.
Bassil said Lebanon is under huge pressure to host refugees, mostly from Syria.

Wang said the easing of tensions and a political settlement in Syria may lead to the resolution of the refugee crisis.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China will take on a constructive role in resolving the refugee crisis, Wang said. The country will also offer urgent humanitarian aid for refugees.
Since 2006, China has maintained a peacekeeping operation force in southern Lebanon, tasked with missions such as mine-sweeping, project construction and humanitarian assistance.
